always

I always want to remember the night she said "I wanna hold you" before she went to sleep.

I always want to remember the...
weight of her against my legs as they fell asleep
sight of her unpolished nails 
feeling of our bellies breathing against each other
sight of her wispy hair blowing in the fan breeze
feeling of her warm forehead pressed against my cheek
feeling of her pulling away right before the really painful leg cramps began
sight of her beautiful eyes
sound of neither of us speaking, but knowing we both needed that short moment together
feeling of her arm hooked around mine
sight of her clutching her stuffed animal and asking to be covered
sight of her sock feet
